The New Scientist reports that face transplants 'possible within a year.'

A face transplant would involve removing the face, facial muscles and subcutaneous fat from the recipient. The donor face from a recently dead person, complete with lips, chin, ears, nose, eight major blood vessels and even some bone, would then be grafted into place.

Not surprisingly, doctors and nurses surveyed about their willingness to have a face transplant were not eager to be donors.
